I would like to thank the society for inviting me to judge their show, a brilliant atmosphere and wonderful catering.
Irish Setters Class 7 (Puppy) 11 entries (4 absent)
A lovely entry of puppies although mouths were a slight concern.
1. Framptons' Strathmead Penny Whistle.
Lovely puppy, sweet head with kind dark eye and raised brow, straight front and nice tight feet, slightly longer cast than I prefer but balanced throughout. Good bend of stifle, confident mover with good rear extension. B.P.
2. Russels' Melmara Minervois
Sweet puppy with a good future, slightly finer than 1 but still well off for bone. Lovely head, good layback of shoulders, nice topline into strong quarters, moved soundly.
3. Humphreys' Suteresett Miss Curious about Henaleas.
Class 8 (Special Yearling) 8 entries (1 absent)
1. Mcdonaghs' Ronzalda Figaro
What a difference a few weeks make, have judged this boy before and nice to see his owner took my previous comments on board. Love his head, nice dark eye and good finish to his muzzle, good lay of shoulders and level topline. His movement was greatly improved in a bigger ring. B.O.S
2. Prangle and Bennetts' Heathclare A Kind of Magic
Very sweet bitch who was unlucky to meet 1 on such good form. Lovely expression with nice raised brow, good shoulders, straight front, good spring of rib, tailset slightly low but she still used it well on the move.

BOB- Group 4 and also the last points for her Sh. Certificate of Merit.
